Mr. Amit Kumar, J. C. to G. P.II Mr. A. Allam, Sr. SC-II, Ms. Nehala

Sharmin & Mr. Amrita Banerjee, Advs.

02/17.12.2015 Heard learned counsel for the parties.

2. All these writ petitions relate to claim of individual

petitioners for grant of Grade-I Scale and seniority from the date of

their initial joining as Assistant Teachers in Elementary Schools

within the State. These petitioners have relied upon the judgment

rendered by this Court in the case of Arun Sinha & others Vrs.

State of Jharkhand & others passed in W.P.S. No. 638 of 2006

dated 4.4.2008 to support their claim stating that in individual

cases petitioners have obtained the Teachers Training qualification

during the course of their services. The delay in obtaining the

Teachers' Training qualification was not on account of their fault.

Petitioners in these writ petitions claim to have been appointed in

the year 1987 or 1988 or 1994 or 1999-2000.

3. It is also not out of place to mention here that the judgment

rendered by the learned Single Judge in the case of Arun Sinha &

others (supra) was upheld in appeal by the learned Division Bench

38

of this Court in L.P.A. No. 214 of 2008 dated 6.11.2012. The

Special Leave to Appeal(Civil) No. 5520-5522 of 2013 preferred by

the State of Jharkhand being aggrieved by the aforesaid judgment

was also dismissed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court vide Judgment

dated 8.3.2013 finding no valid and legal ground for interference.

One or the other persons who claimed that their case are identical

to that of Arun Sinha & others (supra) started approaching this

Court for similar relief. Respondents authorities of the State were

directed in individual writ petitions to examine the case of such

petitioners and if they are found to be covered by the ratio

rendered by this Court in the case of Arun Sinha & others(supra),

similar relief be granted.

4. During the course of time while dealing with such matters,

this Court considered it proper in one of the present batch of

cases i.e. W.P.S. No. 2547 of 2014( Sunil Kumar Bhagat & others

Vrs. State of Jharkhand & others) to have the considered view of

the respondents department on the aforesaid issue and to

undertake exercise to identify such matters which are pending

before this Court for similar grievance. By the order dated

19.8.2015 passed in the case of Sunil Kumar Bhagat(supra), the

respondent- Secretary, Human Resources Development

Department, Government of Jharkhand was also asked to take a

call on the necessity to issue general executive instructions /

circulars to all the District authorities laying down clearcut

guidelines to deal with the matters, which are covered by the ratio

laid down in the case of Arun Sinha & others (Supra). The

Secretary, School Education and Literacy Department (renamed

from the existing Department of Human Resources Development),

Government of Jharkhand appeared before this Court on the next

date i.e. 16.9.2015. Learned Advocate General appearing on

39

behalf of the State made submissions that since the issue

involved is no longer res-integra and modalities relating to

implementation of decision rendered in the case of Arun Sinha &

others (supra) are required to be worked out with concurrence and

consultation with other departments as it may involve financial

outlay as well, appropriate time may be granted. Accordingly, on

the request of learned Advocate General, the matter was

adjourned for 3 months and directed to be posted on 16.12.2015.

That is how the matters are on board today.

5. Learned Senior Standing Counsel No.1 and other counsels

are representing the State in the respective matters. Counter

affidavit has been filed in W.P.S. No. 2547 of 2014 by the

respondent- Director, Primary Education, Jharkhand bringing on

record the policy decision taken by the State Government in that

respect. Para 7 of the counter affidavit is quoted herein below:-

“Para 7 : That the State Government has taken a policy decision giving seniority to the untrained teachers appointed in the years 1987, 1988, 1994 and 1999-2000 from the date of their appointment and the Government resolution in this regard has been notified vide memo no. 3027 dated 14.12.2015.”

6. The resolution bearing memo no. 3027 dated 14.12.2015

containing the policy decision of the State on the aforesaid issue

in terms of the ratio laid down in the case of Arun Sinha & others

(Supra) is enclosed as Annexure-A. It records the chronology of

facts and the circulars issued from time to time in respect of the

Teachers of the Elementary School, more specifically in relation to

those who were appointed on the post of Matric Trained Teacher in

such Elementary Schools. It also discusses the ratio laid down by

this Court and upheld up to the Supreme Court in the case of Arun

Sinha & others (Supra). Para 15 contains the decision of the State

40

Government on the aforesaid subject which is quoted hereunder :-

7. Learned counsel for the respondent- State submits that as

per the policy decision of the State contained in the aforesaid

resolution, the District Superintendent of Education of respective

Districts have been directed to determine the inter-se seniority of

Teachers of the Government Primary Schools for the purposes of

their promotion. It is submitted that now the individual grievance

raised by the petitioners in these batch of writ petitions are to be

addressed in terms of the said resolution and benefits arising out

41

of Grade-I scale and seniority from the date of initial joining would

be conferred upon the individual incumbents who satisfy the

required conditions laid down therein after the exercise is carried

out by the respective District authorities. It is submitted that any

promotion from Grade-I to the higher grades thereafter would be

dependent upon fulfillment of conditions prescribed in Bihar

Taken Over Elementary School Teachers Promotion Rules, 1993

as is also clear from the reading of the said resolution. Therefore,

these writ petitions can be disposed of so that the concerned

District authorities would carry out the exercise and examine

individual cases of such persons / petitioners and grant them the

benefits as per the instant policy decision.

8. Learned counsel for the petitioners have submitted that a

time frame be stipulated for carrying out the exercise so that the

matter is not unnecessarily delayed. Learned counsel for the

petitioners have also sought liberty to raise any grievances in

relation to the instant resolution in an appropriate proceeding if

aggrieved. Petitioners also have submitted that they would be

entitled to promotion to higher grade which may also be

considered by the concerned District authorities after carrying out

the exercise for grant of benefit of Grade-I and seniority from the

date of their initial joining.

9. This issue relating to seniority from the date of initial

joining and grant of Grade-I scale to the Assistant Teacher in

Primary school has engaged the attention of this Court in several

matters. The respondent- State has in due deference to the ratio

laid down in the case of Arun Sinha & others (supra) now taken a

policy decision to grant the said benefit as per the terms of the

said resolution quoted herein above to individual incumbents. It

would now be proper that the cases of individual petitioners who

42

fall within the terms of the resolution dated 14.12.2015, quoted

herein above, be considered by the respondents- District

authorities. The District Superintendent of Education of

respective districts would examine the individual cases as per the

procedure laid down by placing the matter before the District

Education Establishment Committee for taking an informed

decision in respect of individual claims in accordance with law

and the aforesaid policy decision within a reasonable time,

preferably 16 weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order.

10. It would not be out of place to record appreciation for the

efforts taken by the State counsels and the respondent-

Department in coming out with the policy resolution, which may

possibly reduce institution of large number of cases with similar

grievances in this Court.

11. All the writ petitions are accordingly disposed of with the

aforesaid observations and directions. Pending I.A.s also stand

closed.
